D. Fleiss East West Artist Residency in Mallnitz, Austria

Wonderful News!I have been officially invited
by the D. Fleiss East West Artists Foundationto an artist residency and
Symposia of Contemporary Art in Mallnitz,
Austria this
October.After almost a year of confinement because of my broken leg accident, I can’t
tell you how excited I am about the possibility of going to this
residency.There are some challenges
ahead of me. First of all I must continue to improve my physical strength and stamina to
allow me to travel confidently and to enjoy the time I will have creating and exploring in the Alps
and secondly I must fundraise for the travel costs.

I am planning a few different events to reach my travel goal of $4400.

I will be doing a Kickstarter project with great rewards for donors who would like to contribute online, A raffle of an original painting, and an Open Studio and Sale with lots of great
deals on paintings with a large selection of small works offered for a steal and
for the first time to the public. I will announce the dates soon.

I hope that I can find the support I need to make this incredible
opportunity happen. I have my work cut out for me!

Other Studio Updates

I am excited to have my studio back and renovated to enhance my
productivity.I have been painting every
day and am looking forward to putting my studio practice back in high
gear.I have started some new explorations which
will solidify into a working vocabulary soon and am also working on some grant
proposals as well.

Artist, Joyce Conlon stopped into the studio for a visit recently.
She was the first to see the new painting in progress that I am working on.We had a wonderful conversation about
painting and process.It was a brilliant
reminder that all things come in good time….and we must be open to let the work
unfold through the process of creating it and to have a little fun while doing
it too!

Alicia Hunsicker's art is undeniably beautiful. She is an expert at extracting the highly-detailed textures and fibers of the human body, bringing them from darkness, into the light, with a technical precision that rivals any modern-day master.David Aquino, Brattleboro Reformer
